regarding the acquisition of BV bank

São Paulo, July 08, 2021 - PagSeguro Digital Ltd., or PagSeguro PagBank (NYSE: PAGS), which promotes innovative solutions and inclusion in financial services and payments, today in this Press Release is addressing the market reports indicating that PagSeguro PagBank will acquire BV bank.

Although PagSeguro PagBank is always looking for investment opportunities in the market, the company does not intend to acquire BV bank and there are no related signed agreements to do so.

We are very proud on the history we are building since 2006, where PAGS included millions of unbanked and underserved merchants and consumers into the Brazilian financial system, truly helping them to improve their businesses. In May 2021, more than 70% of our new merchants declared they were accepting cards payments for the first-time.

We are happy to serve our 7 million Active Merchants and 10 million PagBank Active clients, an unparalleled result since the official launching of our banking strategy in May 2019, reaching only in 2020 more than R$ 500 million in PagBank Revenues.

The company continues to be committed to create a best-in-class digital bank in Brazil, providing financial and payments services for both, merchants, and consumers. We are confident about the decisions we are taking to guarantee the long-term sustainability of our businesses for the next years, backed by a very strong culture, driven by technology and customer experience.
